#1 If you are "Mayor" Mansour, then you are responsible for the entire township.

#2 Oh, so we ARE caught in the middle of a 'civil war' or 'sectairan strife'. No need for troops here; we can redeploy to Germany, Japan, and South Korea. Or maybe Kosovo.

#3 i'm not against the war but redeploy home since we are not wanted in the rest of those countries. I kosovo had been left alon by the US then our now enemy the muslims would have been wiped out their and been far less extremist

#4 I am reminded of a book I read about cannibalism. When anthropologists went to one village and asked if they were cannibals, they said "no, but that other tribe next door is". So they went to that village and asked if they were cannibals. They replied "no, but that first tribe is."

But having looked around, the anthropologists duly noted that both tribes practiced cannibalism.

#5 "There is no Al-Qaeda here. If there are caches of weapons, I don't know about them. I may be the mayor but I am not responsible for what happens outside my home," Mansour says pleadingly, closing his eyes.

When metaphor and reality meet.
